One in nine new homes built in England from 2022 to 2024 were constructed in areas at medium or high flood risk, up from one in 13 in the previous decade, according to Aviva’s analysis of 396,602 homes.
The study found 43,937 new homes in high-risk zones, with 26% facing some flood threat, driven by worsening weather.
Projections suggest 15% of these homes will be at high or medium risk by 2050.
Greater London and Essex have the highest concentration of at-risk developments.
Experts urge stronger planning rules and flood resilience standards, while the government highlights a £10.5 billion investment in flood defences.
